Conic Section
Product Code : JA-T-3696
The Conic Section set (SKU JA-T-3696) consists of 4 sectioned cone models that show the circle, ellipse, parabola and hyperbola formed when a cone is cut by a plane at different angles. Pupils compare the cut face of each cone and relate the curve to the angle of the cutting plane. This conic sections model set supports senior-secondary coordinate geometry lessons and maths labs, and JaincoLab manufactures it.
Specifications
The set has 4 models of a cone, each sectioned to show one conic: a circle, an ellipse, a parabola and a hyperbola; the cone size and material are not listed and are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the conic sections model set
Teachers use the four models to show that a cut parallel to the base gives a circle, a slanting cut an ellipse, a cut parallel to the slant side a parabola and a steeper cut a hyperbola, before the class studies their equations.
- Showing the four conic sections as cuts of a cone
